Nahum 1:14

Compare all

12 Thus says the Lord:
“Though they are¹ safe, and likewise many,
Yet in this manner they will be ^acut down
When he passes through.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more;

13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
And burst your bonds apart.”

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
¹“Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
Out of the house of your gods
I will cut off the carved image and the molded image.
I will dig your ^agrave,
For you are ^bvile.”

15 Behold, on the mountains
The ^afeet of him who brings good tidings,
Who proclaims peace!
O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,
Perform your vows.
For the¹ wicked one shall no more pass through you;
He is ^butterly cut off.

Nahum 1:14

No more of thy name be sown - No more of you shall be carried away into captivity.

I will make thy grave; for thou art vile - I think this is an address to the Assyrians, and especially to Sennacherib. The text is no obscure intimation of the fact. The house of his gods is to be his grave: and we know that while he was worshipping in the house of his god Nisroch, his two sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, smote him there that he died, II Kings 19:37.
